Abstract

An augment reality (AR) system captures an image of a physical environment. The AR system identifies an object in the captured image to serve as an anchor point. The AR system calculates a distance between the identified object and an AR display device that comprises left and right displays. The AR system identifying a virtual object associated with the anchor point. The AR system then generates for simultaneous display: (a) a first separate image of the virtual object on the left display of the AR device, and (b) a second separate image of the virtual object on the right display of the AR device, such that apparent distance of the virtual object of the composite image of the first separate image and the second separate image is set to the calculated distance between the identified object and the AR display device.

Claims (46)

1 .- 27 . (canceled)

28 . A method comprising:

capturing an image of a physical environment;

identifying a plurality of objects in the captured image;

identifying a user's dynamic vergence plane based on biometric information of a user of an augmented reality (AR) display device;

identifying a subset of the plurality of objects in the captured image that are not in a region proximate to the dynamic user's vergence plane;

modifying the captured image to apply a blur filter to the identified subset of the plurality of objects; and

generating for display on the AR display device the modified captured image.

29 . The method of claim 28 , further comprising generating for display the image of the physical environment to create a video-see through (VST) image on the AR display device.

30 . The method of claim 29 , wherein the identifying the subset of the plurality of objects comprises identifying objects that do not intersect the dynamic user's vergence plane.

31 . The method of claim 29 , wherein the identifying the subset of the plurality of objects comprises identifying objects that are not within a proximity threshold of the user's dynamic vergence plane.

32 . The method of claim 29 , wherein applying the blur filter to the identified subset of the plurality of objects comprises applying a weaker blur filter to objects within a first range of the dynamic user's vergence plane and applying a stronger blur filter to objects within a second range of the dynamic user's vergence plane.

33 . The method of claim 28 , further comprising displaying supplemental information relevant to objects that are in the region proximate to the vergence plane.

34 . The method of claim 28 , wherein the identifying the dynamic user's vergence plane based on the biometric information of the user comprises:

capturing an image of eyes of the user; and

computing the dynamic user's vergence distance based on eye rotation in the captured images of the eyes of the user.

35 . A system comprising:

input/output circuitry configured to capture an image of a physical environment;

control circuitry configured to:

identify a plurality of objects in the captured image;

identify a user's dynamic vergence plane based on biometric information of a user of an augmented reality (AR) display device;

identify a subset of the plurality of objects in the captured image that are not in a region proximate to the dynamic user's vergence plane;

modify the captured image to apply a blur filter to the identified subset of the plurality of objects; and

wherein the input/output circuitry is further configured to:

generate for display on the AR display device the modified captured image.

36 . The system of claim 35 , wherein the input/output circuitry is further configured to generate for display the image of the physical environment to create a video-see through (VST) image on the AR display device.

37 . The system of claim 36 , wherein the identifying the subset of the plurality of objects comprises identifying objects that do not intersect the dynamic user's vergence plane.

38 . The system of claim 36 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to identify the subset of the plurality of objects by identifying objects that are not within a proximity threshold of the user's dynamic vergence plane.

39 . The system of claim 36 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to apply the blur filter to the identified subset of the plurality of objects by applying a weaker blur filter to objects within a first range of the dynamic user's vergence plane and applying a stronger blur filter to objects within a second range of the dynamic user's vergence plane.

40 . The system of claim 35 , wherein the input/output circuitry is configured to display supplemental information relevant to objects that are in the region proximate to the vergence plane.

41 . The system of claim 35 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to identify the dynamic user's vergence plane based on the biometric information of the user by:

capturing an image of eyes of the user; and

computing the dynamic user's vergence distance based on eye rotation in the captured images of the eyes of the user.

42 . A system comprising:

means for capturing an image of a physical environment;

means for identifying a plurality of objects in the captured image;

means for identifying a user's dynamic vergence plane based on biometric information of a user of an augmented reality (AR) display device;

means for identifying a subset of the plurality of objects in the captured image that are not in a region proximate to the dynamic user's vergence plane;

means for modifying the captured image to apply a blur filter to the identified subset of the plurality of objects; and

means for generating for display on the AR display device the modified captured image.

43 . The system of claim 42 , further comprising means for generating for display the image of the physical environment to create a video-see through (VST) image on the AR display device.

44 . The system of claim 43 , wherein the means for identifying the subset of the plurality of objects comprise means for identifying objects that do not intersect the dynamic user's vergence plane.

45 . The system of claim 43 , wherein the means for identifying the subset of the plurality of objects comprise means for identifying objects that are not within a proximity threshold of the user's dynamic vergence plane.

46 . The system of claim 43 , wherein the means for applying the blur filter to the identified subset of the plurality of objects comprise means for applying a weaker blur filter to objects within a first range of the dynamic user's vergence plane and applying a stronger blur filter to objects within a second range of the dynamic user's vergence plane.

47 . The system of claim 42 , further comprising means for displaying supplemental information relevant to objects that are in the region proximate to the vergence plane.
